  • Latest nVidia driver

    From Grimble@2:250/1 to All on Wed Jun 1 12:08:37 2022
    Around the time that kernel 5.15.41-1 was deployed (hit my machine
    Sunday 22 May), an updated nVidia driver was released. When rebooting to 5.15.41-1, I noticed messages that the nVidia driver was being compiled/installed. However, since then my display has refused to switch itself off despite the power settings in "System Settings/Power Management/Energy Saving being set to "Switch off after 5 minutes"
    (changing to another value doesn't help)
    Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just my set-up?

    Just tested it on my laptop. It's working for me and I haven't seen any reports of it not working for others.

    My laptop uses nvidia-current and amdgpu using mageia-prime.

    $ lspcidrake -v|grep Card
    Card:ATI Volcanic Islands and later (amdgpu): Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]|Renoir [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:1636 subv:1043 subd:1e21) (rev: c6)
    Card:NVIDIA GeForce 635 series and later: NVIDIA Corporation|TU106M [GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:10de device:1f15 subv:1043 subd:1e21) (rev: a1)

    # uname -r
    5.15.44-server-1.mga8 (the current version of the kernel in testing).

    Regards, Dave Hodgins

    I set mine for one minute and it worked fine.

    Is it the same for the "junk" user
